Well I officially drive a “six figure car”. No that does not mean my car costs over $100k, it means that I have over one hundred thousand miles on my 2000 Mercury Cougar, and yes her name is Samantha. I still name my car, deal with it!
Now it is not the nicest looking car out there, and yeah it has a few problems that show up with age. But my car only costs me about $40 a month in gas, and $35 a month in insurance. Sure I have to put some money into it every now and then, but it is still loads cheaper then a $350 car payment with pricey insurance.
I told myself that when my car hits 120k I would allow myself to buy a new one. Well with the purchase of the house, looks like that number is going to be pushed into the 150k range. So until then I will just keep on shifting and hoping that my clutch will make it another two years.
